It's the sort of thing that happens all the time to StevePSB, apparently.jamie1978 wrote: So... two random gay guys strike up a conversation in an electronics shop and then Chris comes back to Neils flat to 'play on his synthesiser'. Convincing. When have you EVER known anything like this to happen in real life?! Londoners dont even acknowlegde each others existence in public places.

Maybe. However, you live in a world where gay men don't cruise each other wherever and go back to theirs for a shag and you consider someone suggesting it happens and is the norm to be 'perverted', 'dirty' and 'filthy' and at the same time, you always get to chat with perfect strangers in public places about your favourite records and invite them back to yours for an impromptu synth jam session.
Luckily, I live in the real world and not Fantasy Land.

I know what you mean but remember this was back in 1981 when society was quite different. During my early years on the planet (the 80s) it wasn't uncommon for strangers to strike up conversation in random places or say "good morning" to people passing by just as a matter of politeness.jamie1978 wrote: LOL
I've always been highly suspicious of their story.

Nowadays - and particularly in London, where you can feel like the tiniest fish in the biggest ocean if you don't have many acquaintances - approaching strangers can be a bit odd.
Anyway, wasn't it the case that Neil had to wait around for a bit while his synth was being mended? If so, I don't see why he couldn't have simply struck up an innocent conversation with Chris just to pass the time.

In 1981 the UK was still in recession. Music shops were often located in public toilets to save on building rents so it is conceivable that both versions of the story are correct.
Certainly Vince Clarke met Andy Bell in similar circumstances. Andy was returning a leotard to the costume hire shop when he struck up a conversation with Vince who had nipped in for a quick pee.
